Design and Analysis of Jig and Welding Fixture for Car Panel to Shift the Locate Pin

Abstract

The fixture is a collection of working holdings that holds, supports, and locates the workpiece. Depending on their application, the fixture is needed in different industries. The locating pin is used to restrict the panel's degree of freedom. The panel will affect the loading and unloading of the panel due to a fixed position pin, so we have to configure the shift tool to change the positioning pin during loading and unloading of the panel. In this project we will create a CAD model with a jig and welding fixture. The change unit or the position unit will be designed as compact as possible, depending on the need for the jig and the welding fixture. This project is designed to move the positioning pin between the locating pin and the panel to avoid interference during loading and unloading.
